Saturday night football comes from the City Ground where struggling Nottingham Forest host the English Premier League leaders Arsenal.

Nottingham Forest’s search for stability will face another road block, as one of the most in form teams in Europe travel to Nottinghamshire.

Manager Sean Dyche’s side have lost all but two of their last seven Premier League matches, a run of form which has seen them slip to 17th in the Premier League table.

Last weekend’s win away to West Ham propelled them seven points clear of the relegation zone, though they face an almighty task against Arsenal on Saturday night.

The Gunners are six points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, despite dropping points at home to Liverpool in their latest league match.

Manager Mikel Arteta’s side will make the trip off the back of an FA Cup win over Portsmouth and victory in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi final away to Chelsea.
